Volkswagen Club of Pakistan (VWCOP)

Lets all contribute pics and memories to this timeless classic that has faithfully served generations. It is my 1st car memory and my dad who is a Beetle enthusiast at one time had a total of 4 beetles in our garage Here's a little history of this miraculous German wonder: 'The history of the Beetle really goes back to pre 2nd world war Germany when Ferdinand Porsche had a vision of a mass produced vehicle that was affordable to the average German, an idea that was shared with the young Adolf Hitler who himself could not drive, but was a car fanatic. Hitler was apparently influenced by the achievements of Henry Ford and his production lines - reading Ford's biography while in prison during 1923. Porsche had previously worked on some other small cars that used many elements later to be included in the Beetle. The Type 32 prototype NSU of 1934 was an air-cooled rear engined four cylinder horizontally opposed powered car that used torsion bar suspension and featured beetle-like styling.' --- source - Google.co.uk lets keep the posts rolling - add pics of bugs you've owned or own! I'll add my dad's bug family pics as well ... I guess he fell in love with this oddly shaped car after he drove it down to Pakistan from Germany!!!! .. stories of that wonderous journey keep us entertained whenever our family gets together

looks like this club has been abducted by the members is it too booring to discuss VW?
actually i have a query so whoever finds time n check this post and could answer should answer
my 1969 1.2l i giving "grr"" sound on shifts..i checked with the mechanic..he filled in the transmission oil as it was running DRY..i took the car for a test drive but still no chnage...and now my mechanic says tht my cars clutch plate, a pressure plate and one of the stud needs replacement..i agree on changing the clutch plate n a pressure plate but how does he know tht a stud is leaking pressure??

i didnt even knew wht a stud was..he point to a rod like structure on one of the engines lying in his garage.

it could be that there is a bit of free play in the linkage and that is leading to the grinding noise. but without a picure of what he is refferig to it is hard to clarify what the unit is that he is reffering to.

@miyaan, wait till i get back and i will check the noise on yr car...tyre size for 1200 cc is 155x15, buy if thats not available (and they are not) then get the nexen 165x15. all our friends use them and they work great!
dont bother with General cross plys, greased banana skins and only good for fitting on generator trailers and other stationary machines.

"The rough, hard idle swells up and out from under the car, ricochets off other cars, and rams into the ears of the driver, the spectators. You think twice about a 383 Road Runner, but a hemi only once -- and let it pass."

you went to the ace cafe???? i've been there a few times with my VR6's for meets. that's where they asked me to join at a show where they featured both my golfs in performance VW.

Hi old friends, long time! Sorry I often remain out of touch on forums but I do browse through whenever I get time. Its good to see everyone's participation on Beetle's Forum.

My Bug is stilling running with me, these days its in the garage for complete engine over-hauling which I had been planning since long... Later I will get some body work done, it won't be a project but a little work-out. I'll be restoring it later in few months time...

Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

@alisaif
congrats on the purchase. how about some specs on the car as well. and more pics...

Hello all,
I have been approached by the management of the upcoming Mango festival planned for Islamabad this weekend. They would like us to bring our Beetles and display them. I am hesitant to say yes unless I have at least ten cars. Is anyone out there interested to join in?
They are expecting a few thousand visitors, and have promised secure parking.
I need to let them know by Monday 21st evening. Hurry up and let me know what your thoughts on this are.
Of course, as always, any aircooled VW is welcome, so buses and Ghias, type3 and 4s, 182s, and so on.
Venue will be disclosed later :-)
